With Hurricane Florence forecast to hit the United States on or near the North Carolina coast this week, GoTriangle and GoDurham managers are closely monitoring the storm and implementing plans that will keep customers fully informed if weather conditions warrant any service changes.

Aug. 6 is independence day for Triangle teens and their parents or guardians. That’s when those ages 13 to 18 can start using a free Youth GoPass to explore a three-county world of malls, museums, jobs and schools – with a bus operator doing the driving.

Gathering public input is always an important part of designing GoDurham bus service, and it’s time for residents to weigh in a third time on the agency’s Short-Range Transit Plan as it heads toward final approval.

In an effort to gather as much feedback as possible on two scenarios for the Short-Range Transit Plan, GoDurham has added two more opportunities to hear about plans for simplifying bus routes, improving service frequency and providing better access to popular destinations.
